Went on my first run in the rain. Frankly it was wet, but oddly amazing. Kind of empowering in a way. Almost like a nothing can stop strong will and determination feeling. I took a before picture, wish I had taken an after. Definitely something to remember.
I currently live in Louisiana. The culture here is amazing, even more so the sense off state pride. Part of the culture is the love for amazing food. While I enjoy it, it sometimes makes it difficult to stay on track when around it. I do indulge on occasion if the hubs and I are out to have a good time...but weekly at work during orders or team meetings, lunches or breakfasts it is sometimes difficult to be the odd man out. I don't want others to think I am looking down on the culture, but I know for my own sake I have to stick to plan.
Generally, this means bringing my own meals on a daily basis and preparing for team lunches by knowing ahead of time what it will be and what I need to do.
Some days I literary feel like locking myself in my office in order to escape the treats, fried foods or carbo loads. I hope at some point my mind will no longer react to it and it will be as easy pie....well spinach or something.
